"Please indicate to me anything that would lead one to believe this is intended to be sarcastic."
I note in your rigor, you leave out the lead up to the quote. (How objective of you!).
"I would like here to appeal to a greater than I, Count Lerchenfeld. He said in the last session of the Landtag that his feeling as 'a man and a Christian' prevented him from being an anti-Semite.
I say: My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter.
In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. "Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross.
As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice...."
Hitler used many rhetorical devices. (He was the only politician of his day to charge admission for his speeches.) Sarcasm was one of his favorite devices.
He is saying that it is the role of a good Christian to attack and destroy the Jews. That is absurdist sarcasm that his audience would have clearly understood.
If you don't know that Hitler loathed and despised Christianity, which he saw as just a furtherance of Judaism, than you know nothing about Hitler.
You didn't originally give any of it. So where does that leave you?
HItler was clearly contradicting Lerchenfeld. I don't dispute that. I see absolutely no sarcasm in his contradiction, and you have been unable to identify any. He pointed to the driving out of the moneychangers in the temple as an example of Christ's enmity to the Jews. This particular argument is in a long tradition of German Christian antisemitism, which dates back to Martin Luther and before. The speech was given in Munich, a strongly Catholic city, not the place to be sarcastic about Christianity. Earlier in the speech he had decried the demise of Christian capitalism at the hands of Jewish capitalism.

Bull. Martin Luther preached the same thing. Was that absurdist sarcasm?
